Antonio Conte’s men are coming off a dramatic title race, edging Internazionale on the final day thanks to goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku in a 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. For Inter, it was a bitter collapse. Simone Inzaghi’s side not only lost the Scudetto by a single point, but were also humiliated 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final and knocked out of the Coppa Italia by rivals AC Milan. Inzaghi…

Chelsea’s opening-day stalemate at Stamford Bridge offered an early glimpse into both the promise and the problems of Enzo Maresca’s new-look attack. With six attackers signed for a combined £250 million on the pitch at various points, Chelsea dominated possession and created opportunities in volume, yet they lacked the composure and collective rhythm required to break down a disciplined Crystal Palace side. Maresca’s choice of front line revealed his intent to play expansive, fluid football. Joao Pedro led the line, flanked by Jamie Gittens on the left and Pedro Neto on the right, with Cole Palmer pulling the strings behind…

Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexander Isak has reached a decisive stage, with the club reportedly telling Newcastle United that they will only wait until the end of this week to strike a deal before switching their attention elsewhere. The Reds have admired the Swedish striker for some time and stepped up their interest this summer after Isak signaled his desire to leave St. James’ Park. His refusal to commit to Newcastle has already seen him dropped from Eddie Howe’s squad, most recently absent in the goalless draw with Aston Villa. Liverpool tested Newcastle’s resolve with a £110m bid, but the Magpies…

Chelsea’s new Premier League campaign began on a flat note as they were frustrated by Crystal Palace in a goalless encounter at Stamford Bridge. After lifting the FIFA Club World Cup earlier in the summer with a sparkling win over Paris Saint-Germain, hopes were high for Chelsea’s opener. Instead, the Blues looked far from the side that impressed in the United States. Palace thought they had stunned the home crowd early when Eberechi Eze smashed a free-kick beyond Robert Sánchez inside ten minutes. The celebration was short-lived, however, with Marc Guéhi’s positioning in the wall judged to have interfered, ruling…

Lookman has been absent for over a week after releasing a statement criticising the club for rejecting a 45 million euro offer from Inter.

Liverpool kicked off their Premier League title defense with a thrilling 4-2 win over Bournemouth at Anfield, surviving a spirited fightback from the visitors. The day began on a somber note with a minute’s silence and 20th minute applause in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva who tragically died in a car accident in July. The tribute set an emotional backdrop for what would become a rollercoaster of a match. Arne Slot handed Premier League debuts to four summer signings and it was one of them, Hugo Ekitike, who broke the deadlock eight minutes before the break…

The 2025/26 Premier League season is here, and the excitement is already building. Fans, pundits, and even league officials are asking the same thing. Could this campaign be the most competitive the English top flight has ever produced? The general belief among many last season was that the Premier League had dipped in quality. Liverpool won the title with ease, the three promoted clubs went straight back down without making much of an impact, and two of the biggest names in the league, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, looked far from their best. To some, it felt like the drama…
